All-Time Top Salary Earners

From Brian Costello at The Hockey News,

The following top 10 list shows active players who have earned the most since former union head Bob Goodenow introduced salary disclosure in 1990. Some players who were active prior to 1990 do not have those figures included in their totals, but none would have cracked the top 10. [...]

10. Peter Forsberg, $65.4 million
9. Chris Pronger, $66.2 million
8. Mike Modano, $70.1 million

didn’t mario lemieux basically get ownership of the penguins instead of his salary in the 90s? granted, it’s not as liquid an asset as cash, but surely he can trump jagr if you factor in the value of an nhl franchise these days…

The reason Goodenow does NOT have a job anymore???  Tkachuk is in the top 50 of all time earners...let alone #3.  Wow.  Where’s Ron Francis, or Brendan Shanahan?  How about Teemu Selanne or Brian Leetch?

Maybe they’d be there if we new their salaries from the 80’s...but really...Tkachuk??  Of all people, Tkachuk?
